One Fish, Two Fish



Ahh the weekend,  finally some time to relax and take it easy.  Went to the grocery store as is the usual Saturday adventure,  and today was a bit different in that the grocery store was BUSY!  Normally when I go it is just medium busy,  today there were lines backed up at all the registers open, and they even opened a couple more.  The people in front of me were stocking up for a month it looked like!  They had 3 little kids, but had almost 3 carts full of food.  I didn't see the full bill value though, but they were doing the happy dance after their rewards card was swiped as to how much they had saved.  With three carts though I would hope they had done some serious savings.

Apart from that adventure, I have started watching a series from a few years ago called Wonderfalls,  I forgot how much I had liked what little I saw of it the last time. It looks like it only made it two seasons though,  that seems to be the way of things that I like.

On to the food!

This evening I decided to try out the tilapia I had purchased,  and here is what I did with it.

Parmesan encrusted Tilapia (Serves 2-4 depending on cut)

2 fillet of Tilapia
1 egg
1/2 cup Parmesan
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground pepper
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
1 teaspoon red pepper paste
2 tablespoons olive oil


Mixed the dry seasonings together, took half of it and dry rubbed it onto one side of the fillets.  I heated up the pan and seared in olive oil both sides. on a plate I had scrambled the egg, and on another plate mixed the Parmesan with the rest of the seasonings.  I brushed the egg onto the fillet and then caked on a layer of the Parmesan mixture, plated and then broiled until the top turned the golden brown color.

Served with some left over spinach, mixed with some minced garlic, Parmesan and a bit of butter.  To drink, cherry infused iced tea.
